A NEW shoe-leather makes its appearance this year. It is called Siberian Kid Calf—really
comes from Siberia and is the hide of the small calves of that country. With all the strength
of calf it combines the softness and pliability of kid. It polishes beautifully and does not
easily scuff.
As it has been increasingly difficult to obtain Russian skins since the outbreak of the war
this superior leather in American shoes represents a great triumph for the big Walk-Over
organization.
Practically all the shoe-leather that has been brought from Russia since hostilities began
has gone into Walk-Over shoes. Ask to be shown a Siberian Kid Calf Shoe.

£ Our homes exist for the chil-
dren. They afford us our best
reason for the incessant toil,which
is loss a curse to the race than a
blessing. Their insistent claims
on our care can not be put aside.
Their joyful irresponsibility is in
contrast to our continual sense of
obligation. Like the birds and the
flowers, they bring song and
bloom into our lives, and their de-
pendence on us is as simple, their
faith as sincere, as ours ought to
